    Nice pickup man! Drive the wheels off of it! If you know of another for sale send 'em my way. I'm looking for a driver for myself. Cheers!

    You hit the nail on the head by doing it your way, regardless of what people say. They don't put the time, effort and money into it, you do. Good job!

    i also got a 57 chevy with the narrow, short bed and it also has the same 55 grille like yours. i think they're just about the sexiest looking pickups ever made. one of the great things about them is there is no plastic dash, and just about anything like fenders, floorpans, bed parts, well we can get just about everything/parts for them.

    Truck made it's official maiden voyage today! I put about 15 miles on it, with out a problem. Speedometer seems to be about 10mph slow. Had a little vibration above 50mph, but it seemed to go away the more I drove it. The tires could of had a flat spot in them. I will get it out more this weekend and post some more pictures.

    Nice truck!

    If I ever changed mine I would drop it a bit too.
    I too like the look of 58/59 dual head lights, 57 hood and 55/56 grill. I think it has a real mean look to it.

    I do not remember what they were. They were standard off the shelf rims, no special offset.
